sudo aptitude install quodlibet quodlibet-plugins

sudo apt-get install mp3gain

#!/bin/bash
find  /path/to/your/music/folder -iname *.mp3 -execdir mp3gain -a -k -p -q {} +

This* will apply a album replay-gain meta tag to your mp3s. Don?t worry, the script won?t alter the data of the files, it just adds the tags. Now, if you play that with a player which is able to support replay-gain like Rhythmbox, Songbird, Winamp, Foobar2000 or what ever you choose, it?ll sound much more even.

On Windows, you can alter the volume of your music files with MP3Gain. Winamp also has a native 'replaygain analyzer': Mark the files of an album and right-click them: send-to -> replay gain

Note: I personally don?t apply the track replay-gain on my music, because I think, altering sound in music is an important style element and manipulates the feeling. Especially in soundtracks and classics.

*) You need to replace /path/to/your/music/folder to your music folder

Edit: I'm now doing this with QuodLibet's replay gain plugin now.
